This single image taken earlier this evening shows jets of material being ejected from the nucleus towards the tail - well that's how it looks to me

Got meself together to try catch holmes with the CGE11 inch, last night(Thurs, 1st Nov.). This is a stack of about 84 images ranging from 5 sec to 20 secs at ISO1600, Canon 350D at Prime Focus, using a 6.3 focal reducer. Stacked in DSS.



Taken from cherrymount, Waterford................ Ammmazziiiingggg.....this week has been my very first time actually imaging a comet on over our skies!!!! I never thought I would ever image one!!

how frustrating this is , this whole week just clowds and clowds and haze or what ever.......
just on the moment something interesting is going on...
